Samsung calling its dockable Windows 8 tablets ATIV Smart PC and Smart PC Pro outside the US

Samsung unveils ATIV Smart PC and Smart PC Pro with detachable keyboard dock, S Pen

Samsung didn't leave its ATIV introductions to just an ARM tablet and a phone. We first saw them as the Series 5 and Series 7 tablets, which will likely be their final US names; to recap, though, the newly branded ATIV Smart PC and ATIV Smart PC Pro both look to capture some of that Transformer-like aura by mating an 11.6-inch tablet with a detachable keyboard dock for a laptop experience. Some of Samsung's own Galaxy Note vibe rubs off on them, too -- both carry an S Pen and a bundled S Note app for some on-the-spot writing. They likewise share support for 3G and 4G as well as micro-HDMI and USB, but there's a clear difference depending on what you buy. Going for the regular Smart PC loads in a modest Clover Trail-based Intel Atom processor and a 1,366 x 768 display, but offers a lengthy 13.5-hour battery life, 2GB of RAM, up to a 128GB flash drive, a rear 8-megapixel camera and a 2-megapixel front camera. Slap that "Pro" moniker on the front and you have to drop to eight hours of battery life and a 5-megapixel rear camera, but you'll get a much faster Core i5 processor, a 1080p display, 4GB of RAM and as much as a 256GB SSD. Unlike the ATIV Tab, we do know the Smart PCs will be available in the US on October 26th at $649 for a base Smart PC/Series 5, $749 for a bundle with the keyboard and $1,119 for a Smart PC Pro/Series 7 with a 128GB SSD built-in.

Tennessee Crater Inches Toward Recognition

Sorry, I'm not seeing it. Everything I see posted here can be adequately explained without the presence of an impact. Sinkholes are also often round. Magnetic material can accumulate in and weather out of most rock types, and can be introduced through secondary contamination. Vugs are, and other holes/porosity often are, the result of dissolution and weathering (coincidentally, the same processes form sinkholes under the right conditions).

To convince me, do several things:
1. Cut open the weird looking metal pieces and acid-etch them to reveal any Widmanst?tten patterns. (Note: the metal in meteors will not react quickly to water or other weak acids, but limestone will. Iron minerals commonly occur in most rock types, not least of all sedimentary rocks, including limestone, that are likely to form sinkholes. Magnetic minerals are actually pretty common. I'd be a little surprised not to find small grains of magnetic material pretty much anywhere on Earth.)
2. Take the rocks to an expert and get an opinion. This often annoys most geologists a little bit since, as one recounted to me, he's had hundreds of people bring him "meteorites" over the years and precisely zero of them were actual meteorites. But if you can get an appropriately trained geologist to glance at them it should be moderately easy to see that they are or are not meteorites, or represent a rock that has melted. If that person can't say definitively, he/she may be sufficiently intrigued to investigate further.
3. If the rocks look interesting to the geologist, running through an electron microprobe and electron microscope will reveal many more interesting things about their precise chemical composition and microscopic structure, as will thin sections under an optical microscope. For the metallic parts reflected light microscopy will tell a great deal. The presence of certain high pressure SiO2 polymorphs is diagnostic in rocks from the impact zone, and iron/nickel composition is a very good indicator in a suspected meteorite.
4. Careful mapping will help, as will a geologic map of the area. Geologic mapping is not difficult, but defensible results require practice and a thorough understanding of geologic principles. Look for the character of the ground, the distribution and size of different material both vertically and laterally, its composition, texture, the nature of contacts between areas with different materials, and the orientation of any different layers, amongst any other notable characteristics. Relate your findings to those on existing geologic maps. Create your map on top of a high resolution topo map.
5. Consider multiple working hypotheses, and keep an open mind. For example, the two obvious hypotheses are that this feature represents a sinkhole or that it instead represents an impact crater. Find as much evidence as you can that contradicts or informs both of those ideas; consider all evidence in light of them. For example, you might observe that the area is characterized by shallow crystalline silicate metamorphic bedrock that is not subject to dissolution, thus pointing away from a sinkhole origin. On the other hand, you might note there are caves in the area, topographic maps show creeks and stream ending abruptly, that there was cement production there in the late 1800s, limestone clasts show traces of pyrite, and there's little evidence of breccia.

It's a logical fallacy to conclude an unusual process must be responsible for an observed feature when your evidence can be adequately explained by more pedestrian processes. Make sure you have solid evidence that can't be explained by more mundane processes before jumping to a novel conclusion -- ad hoc conclusions are inimical to real understanding and the process of science. If an impact is still a reasonable explanation after carefully considering your evidence in light of other hypotheses, systematically write up your findings. Start by giving an overview of the general area, then the feature itself, then the details of specific observations you've made a

Pirates seize 24 sailors on tanker off Togo

Pirates attacked an oil tanker Tuesday off the coast of Togo, taking control of its bridge and kidnapping 24 sailors before escaping amid an exchange of gunfire with a naval patrol boat, an anti-piracy organization said.

It wasn't immediately clear if anyone was injured in the attack on the Greek-owned oil tanker, which had been anchored about 17 nautical miles (19 miles) away from Lome, Togo's capital. The pirates took control of the vessel quickly, though an alarm from the ship alerted the Togolese navy, said Noel Choong, an official with the International Maritime Bureau.

The navy boat trailed the tanker and sailors exchanged gunfire with the pirates before the tanker escaped, Choong said.

A naval spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment Tuesday.

Tuesday's attack is just the latest to target West Africa's Gulf of Guinea, which follows the continent's southward curve from Liberia to Gabon. Over the last year, piracy there has escalated from low-level armed robberies to hijackings and cargo thefts. Last year, London-based Lloyd's Market Association ? an umbrella group of insurers ? listed Nigeria, neighboring Benin and nearby waters in the same risk category as Somalia, where two decades of war and anarchy have allowed piracy to flourish.

Pirates in West Africa have been more willing to use violence in their robberies, as they target the cargo, not the crew for ransom, as is the case off Somalia. Analysts say many of the pirates come from Nigeria, where corrupt law enforcement allows criminality to thrive.

The attack on the Greek oil tanker comes about a week after a similar attack on another tanker in the region, Choong said. In that attack the pirates released the crew after stealing the oil onboard, he said.

"Judging the past attacks, they'll take the vessel for several days, ransack it, take the cargo and leave the sailors," Choong said.

Analysts believe the recent hijackings of tanker ships likely is the work of a single, sophisticated criminal gang with knowledge of the oil industry and oil tankers. Those involved in the hijackings may have gotten that experience in Nigeria's southern Niger Delta, where thieves tapping pipelines running through swamps steal hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil a day.

Edmund Scientifics and FrogPad Announce the First Catalogue ...

Houston, TX (PRWEB) October 31, 2005

FrogPad and strategic partner, Edmund Scientifics, the leader in unique, science related products for enthusiasts and educators, announce the launch of the specialized one handed keyboard for the scientific community.

This further places FrogPad as a new standard for data entry!

FrogPad, an innovator in data entry technologies for mobile computing, has been capturing the hearts, minds and digits of the growing corporate technology market with the introduction of 4 new and original one-handed keyboards since 2003.

Now FrogPad is launching the first specialized online tutorial created by DeMarque, the renowned creator of E-Learning typing tutorials for corporate settings and for grades K-12 in the US and Canada.

The FrogPad keyboard is easier to use than a standard keyboard because it is one-handed as most our activities are, and it has been designed around the 15 most frequently used letters by all languages using the Roman alphabet. The DeMarque typing tutorial for the FrogPad keyboard features Friendly Froggie to train users to type very efficiently with one hand. The On-line tutorial is available in English, and will soon be in French, German and Spanish.

Additionally, an enabling technology of the keyboard is an 8-bit microcontroller from Freescale Semiconductor which provides a cost-effective solution for maximizing the keyboard?s battery life.

FrogPad for Educators

By enabling typing with one hand, FrogPad is revolutionizing the use of technology in the education system. The size and portability of the keyboard make it ideal for classroom use. Computer technology has become a very important tool in the educational system for both teachers and students. In elementary schools, the curriculum focuses on ensuring that students are computer literate. Schools devote an entire semester to teaching students how to type. Because of the intuitive patented letter layout, teaching all students to type on FrogPad will insure faster learning in less time than a semester. An average person can learn to type 40 WPM on the FrogPad with less than ten hours of practice, when sixty hours are required for a regular keyboard. The professional tutorial developed and now offered by DeMarque is fun and easy to use. It provides great instruction and training for new users. And young children will leap to using it immediately. It gives every student a real chance to experience the joys of technology.

Disabilities in the Classroom

FrogPad is a great tool for students with disabilities. In an education system where inclusion and mainstreaming have become very popular practices, FrogPad further enables students with disabilities to function normally in a regular classroom. Its design allows students to type quickly using only one hand, and its size makes it easily portable as well as hardly noticeable to others. Students also love the fun nature of the keyboard with its bright color and cute logo. Most students have referred it to as cool. Think of the impact this keyboard makes for children with Dysgraphia and Cerebral Palsy. Visit the disability link for more information. http://www.frogpad.com/FPandYou/disabled.asp

About FrogPad

With customers in countries around the world including Japan, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, U.K., Canada, the United States, and the most recent new distributor in Indonesia and Sweden; FrogPad is quickly becoming the mobile computer interface choice for keyboarders around the world. Today there are four form factors of the patented FrogPad data entry interface: the FrogPad standard keyboard, the slimmer mini FrogPad, the Bluetooth-enabled iFrog, and the most recent addition to the Frog family, the Bluetooth headset, FrogTalk. All keyboards are offered in left and right hand models.

About Edmund Scientifics

FrogPad products can be purchased online through its scientific distribution partner, http://www.scientificsonline.com

Founder and FrogPad President Linda Marroquin likens the introduction of the FrogPad to the market changing launches of the Laptop or the PDA, The standard QWERTY keyboard in use today was designed for a different time when mobile computing devices were only a glimmer in the eyes of their developers; and the continual evolution and miniaturization of mobile technology devices are driving the need for a new kind of data entry device. We believe the patented FrogPad product platform is the solution.

Current applications for the future wearable Frog include industries with needs for easy data entry from a field application such as shipping logistics, healthcare patient care, and remote field operations such as on-site drilling for the Oil & Gas industry. FrogPad is an innovator in one-handed data entry methods for mobile computing devices.

FrogPads best seller is Typing Pal, the funniest and most effective way to learn to type. Typing Pal is available in CD-ROM and online editions for home users, schools, and businesses, and is offered in English, French, Italian, and Icelandic.

Twitter shakes up US election campaign

Will tweets make the difference in the 2012 US presidential election? Twitter and other social media are being used by candidates to energize supporters, raise funds and shift the focus of the public debate for what some call the nation's first "social election" in November.

Twitter has the potential "to sway the national narrative," said Zach Green, head of the media consultancy 140Elect, which advises candidates on how to use Twitter.

Because Twitter democratizes the delivery of information, tweets can help a candidate by getting out a message that might not be seen on traditional media like newspapers and television.

"Twitter is a way of injecting a message into the national conversation... before anyone writes the story you can get your side out there," Green told AFP.

"You can also go around the national discussion because Twitter allows candidates to reach their constituencies without a gatekeeper."

Tony Fratto, a former White House and US Treasury spokesman in the George W. Bush administration who is now a partner in the consulting firm Hamilton Place Strategies, said Twitter can be a game-changer.

"It has made it possible for campaigns to immediately communicate with large numbers of potential voters in about the cheapest way you can imagine," Fratto said.

"Not only can you impress a message on millions of people, but you can respond to charges quickly. In the old days, you would have someone put a television ad, and it would take time to write a press release or produce an ad" to counter that, he said.

"With Twitter, the moment the charge or a critical ad or news report hits you are in a position to respond in your own voice immediately and to generate responses from your supporters."

President Barack Obama has a huge head start on Republican rival Mitt Romney on Twitter. The incumbent has some 18.7 million Twitter followers to fewer than 900,000 for Romney.

Green's analysis shows Obama tweets 10 times more often as Romney, and gets additional support on Twitter from his campaign. But Romney's tweets are more often shared and retweeted, suggesting his supporters are more "engaged," said Green.

Jeanette Castillo, a Florida State University professor specializing in digital media, said Romney has more money and support from political action committees, "so I'm watching to see how much the social media capital is worth."

"The extent to which it mobilizes people and gets them out will be interesting to watch," Castillo said.

In the 2008 election, Twitter was just getting started and had a limited impact, Castillo noted, because it had fewer users -- mainly younger people -- and was not as important for news media.

Now, Twitter is a major driver of news and the so-called "national conversation."

This was highlighted, Castillo said, by the furor created by US Senate candidate Todd Akin's comments on "legitimate rape" and earlier this year by the shooting death of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin.

"Twitter is a very democratic platform," she said.

"I think it's becoming part of a bigger landscape and to the extent that it influences the mainstream media, it will have power."

Fratto said Obama had a "huge advantage" in the 2008 campaign over Republican John McCain but that in 2012, the Romney campaign has "a very sophisticated digital communication strategy."

He noted that while Obama tweets more often, some tweets from @BarackObama are not directly from him, but written in the third person.

"You should tweet more often but do it in your own voice," Fratto said.

A study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism said the Obama campaign "holds a distinct advantage" in its use of digital technology to communicate with voters, particularly Twitter.

More crucially, the Obama campaign is using digital means to target key groups such as Hispanics and women voters.

PEJ director Tom Rosenstiel said an effective online strategy is now essential for a candidate.

"While more digital activity does not necessarily translate into more votes, historically, candidates who are first to exploit changing technology have an advantage," said Rosenstiel.

The Pew report said that candidates who use these technologies demonstrate they are keeping up with the times.

"From Franklin Roosevelt's use of radio, to John F. Kennedy's embrace of television, to Ronald Reagan's recognition of the potential for arranging the look and feel of campaign events in the age of satellites and video tape, candidates quicker to grasp the power of new technology have used that to convey a sense that they represented a new generation of leadership more in touch with where the country was heading," the report said.
